DH Talk

Brian Croxall provides an informative and realistic look at what digital approaches to humanities can and cannot do.
The upshot:
Data need interpretation Data don’t have to be big. Data aren’t always the answer
People new to text mining are often disillusioned when they figure out how it’s actually done — which is still, in large part, by counting words. They’re willing to believe that computers have developed some clever strategy for finding patterns in language — but think “surely it’s something better than that?“
Our goal
The DH Community is a program of Wake Forest's Humanities Institute. We are faculty from across campus interested in investigating the emergence of digital humanities as a field of study, and its relevance and usefulness as a research and teaching tool in the humanities.Join the conversation!
